Ep. 13: Growing your family, Pt. 2 with Karla Thrasher

Today's episode continues exploring your options in growing your family. While last week we explored how to get pregnant and grow your family biologically, this week we talk about growing your family through adoption. Adoption can be done domestically (through infant adoption) or internationally (through adoption from a child in another country without a family). Today's episode interviews Karla Thrasher, the Director of International Adoption at Lifeline Children's Services. We discuss some of the big questions with International Adoption: How do you explore if adoption is right for you? Where do you begin if you're considering adoption? What should you look for in an adoption agency? How do you pay for adoption? If you'd like to learn more about the work Lifeline does, you can follow them on Instagram @lifelinechild or go to their website at lifelinechild.org. To speak with their inquiry specialist, who can hear your story and help you find a program that will fit best with your family's call, email [email protected]. In a recent poll on Instagram, about 40% of our followers said they'd like to grow their family through both adoption and biological children.
